Dear Wolverine Families,

Monday, May 4th - Friday, May 8th is Teacher Appreciation Week. I am proud and impressed by our teachers’ and staff members’ passion, strength and dedication during this school year. Staff have been working very hard to try and move students forward educationally. If you would like, take a moment and have your student write a special message to recognize their teacher or a special staff member.

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela

Testing:

KSA and AP Testing start next week. Please ensure your student gets plenty of rest and encourage them to do their best.

Library Books:

ALL library books are now overdue. Please ask your student to return their library books as soon as possible. Lost books may be paid for with a check made out to WHHS or by paying the exact amount of cash to Mrs. Bell in the library. Students who are still using textbooks or novels from their English classes should turn those in when their teacher tells them that those materials are no longer needed for class.

Chromebook Collection May 11th-15th:

All students will turn in their Chromebooks and chargers during their English classes according to the following schedule. Students who had English during 4th hour of the first semester may return their Chromebooks and chargers during 4th hour on their grade level's day.

Monday, May 11th - Seniors

Wednesday, May 13th - Freshmen
Thursday, May 14th - Juniors
Friday, May 15th - Any student who was absent on their grade level's assigned return date and all students who were using their Chromebooks for AP testing during this week.

Students who do not return their chargers will be assigned a $40 charger replacement fee.

KY Safe Teen Driving Challenge:

Team Kentucky and The Kentucky Safe Teen Driving Challenge aim is to promote safer driving habits among teens by encouraging responsible behaviors behind the wheel. Rooted in our commitment to protecting lives across our new Kentucky home, this contest provides an engaging way to educate young drivers on the dangers of speeding, phone distractions, and risky maneuvers. Using innovative technology to track and improve driving habits, we’re helping teens build the skills they need to keep themselves, their passengers, and everyone on the road safer. Teens can earn up to $3,000. Registration deadline is April 16th and the scoring period is April 17 - July 17th. Learn more at https://kyhighwaysafety.com/safe-teen-driving-challenge/
